South Africa's Drills With Russia, China Strains Ties With WestSouth Africa is hosting a joint naval exercise, Exercise Mosi II, with Russia and China. The Russian military frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" was greeted by protests when it arrived in Cape Town harbour ahead of naval exercises hosted by South Africa from February 17 to 27, 2023. This year's exercise will see over 350 South African National Defence Force personnel from various divisions, participating. South Africa's Western allies are unhappy about the exercise.
